Alucard Origin and Meaning

The name Alucard is a boy's name meaning "Dracula backwards".

While Alucard has the sound of names like Alaric, Arnoud, and Ealdwine, it is in fact literally Dracula spelled backwards. Used in various bits of media over the years, it is perhaps best associated with the character in the Japanese game franchise, Castlevania or with the manga series HELLSING by Kouta Hirano.
